Most of my crafting over the years has been crochet. I made countless throws and baby afghans as gifts, while working in Special Education and raising two sons.
Until recently, my sewing experience had been limited to high school home economics (over 45 years ago!) and a few decorative pillows for which I used my mother's 1950's Singer Featherweight - still a work horse and a beauty, but limiting. In 2008 I purchased a new sewing machine with about 35 built-in stitches, soon learning that I could use a whole lot more!
I started taking online classes on Craftsy and love modern quilting and other fabric arts. I would like to learn more about incorporating photography into fabric pieces. I also dabble in stamping cards, making coasters with travertine tiles and photos I have taken, and love to hunt for old objects that can be brought back to life or re-purposed.
